Bug#568838: Reproducible with lvm2 2.02.66-5 on Debian 6.0.7 "Squeeze" AMD64

[David Huecking (gmx.net)]

Package: lvm2
Version: 2.02.66-5


Hi!

Yesterday, Tuesday 2013-03-12 I installed Debian 6.0.7 "Squeeze" AMD64
including all available updated packages.

Hard disk is one simple U320 parallel SCSI. No (Software-)RAID.
/dev/sda1 1GB on /boot as ext3
/dev/sda2 45GB as Linux LVM2

Using LVs for "/", "/var" and "swap".

Booting the freshly installed system ended up in the initial RAM disk's
shell.
A
lvm lvscan -a
revealed all LVs inactive.

A manually
lvm vgchange -aly
set them ACTIVE.
Leaving the shell the system continued booting successfully.

I applied patch
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?msg=10;filename=lvm2_wait-lvm.patch;att=1;bug=568838
and rebuild the initial RAM disk
update-initramfs -u

After that the system boots reliable up.


Regards, David.
